Ms. Jammie Thomas-Rasset has been ordered to pay $1.92 million dollars to record companies associated with the RIAA because she had 24 illegal copies of songs on her computer that she was sharing with others. While most folks will probably think that such a heavy award is ridiculous, and will probably ruin the life of the defendant in this case, the RIAA could not be more pleased, and intends to repeat the process against numerous others who have been fingered as having infringed upon music copyrights.
One artist who was involved because a song of his was included as one of the 24 is Richard Marx, and he has issued a statement blasting the recording industry and the RIAA for their actions.
